The second day saw a new Safe House being given to the players of "Payday 2." Those who have at least a level 25 ranking can now upgrade its different areas. One option is to customize the shooting gallery with a damage calculator. There is also a tool for changing the color of your vehicle, and there is also the possibility of gambling in order to convert any offshore cash into spending money.
Players can then unlock unique trophies for the Safe House in "Payday 2" by completing different daily missions. They can even invite other players in. Actor John Cleese voices the character of the butler, which was put in the game for some unexplainable reason.
